Today began like most Sundays, slow and peaceful. Liz and the woman next door were sharing a garage sale in my front yard.

Someone said something to peeve the other and a fist-fight started. Liz got the worst of it with several blows to her face. She called the police on the neighbor but the police refused to make arrests and just diffused the situation like they should have.

I wasn't involved.

As I grow older (though not as old as River) I find my declining days as anything but boring.

This month's utilities aren't half bad.

Gas bill is still a zero balance

Electric bill is a credit. Apparently, I over paid.

Cable bill is $182.32. I'll get it down next month.

Water bill is $136. Bill came only a few days after I fixed the leak.

Arrrggghhhhh it's 105 F. today

Fun night here last night. Monty, the bum who sleeps on my back porch, got into a fight with Liz's 20 year old son and her girlfriend. The girlfriend beat him on the my front porch. The son beat him in my kitchen. I called the cops but they only took Monty then let him go 20 minutes later. Monty returned three times threatening to bust my front window and to kill me if I didn't let him in my house. I didn't let him in.

The cops finally cuffed him. I'm waiting to see if the take him away.

Never a boring night at Mac's house.

Then again there are days I'd like to have a serious talk with the guy who said "may we live in interesting times."

The cops took him away for the night only. He was back at 7:20am demanding to get in but I refused.

He finally agreed to move in with Ruben, a guy who offered him free rent and food if he did odd jobs for him. Monty will be sitting on my front porch till 5:00pm when Ruben gets off from work.

It will be nice to get rid of him FINALLY.

Lets hope so.

It was "may you live in interesting times," and it was an old Chinese curse. Sounds like someone has cursed you with it.

Monty moved to Adelanto, more than 60 miles north of me
